A still from the TNG episode “Masks” picturing Lt cmdr Data wearing a sunburst mask of Masaka. Text reads “Mariah is Waking”
Completely unrelated to the meme, but I love how folks on Lemmy will frequently provide alt/descriptive text for images. When I have to deal with user-provided images for my org’s website, it’s like pulling teeth to get them to provide anything at all.
Hey thank you for commenting on this. It lets me do a tiny lil soapboxing here for just one second hehe:
I wish people did it more often, but I do find the fedi in general good for accessibility (Mastodon community seems especially good at captioning).
I don’t want to shame anyone, but I have been trying to cook up a series of memes to encourage this community (and others) to alt up their images.
We’re pretty welcoming here. If they were star trek themed i’m sure they would be a hit. Hell you could use Hemmer and Geordi since they are differently abled.
Oh my god that’s perfect, thank you
Without getting into too long of a tirade, I’d rather be called disabled than differently abled. I don’t get super hearing because my vision sucks.
Yes but in their specific cases they are differently abled. Hemmer has his telepathy and Geordi his visor.
Same - I don’t shame anyone for not doing it, but I do try to call out/praise when it’s done and/or done exceptionally well. Hopefully that helps.
It most certainly helps, thank you
Thanks for the reminder. I keep forgetting to do that
“Oh, boy, we got an ancient mask situation here.”
“The what now?”
“This is, like, the third time it’s happened. Stop touching masks!”
🎶Last Christmas
I gave you my emotional processing unit
The very next stardate
You gave it to Lore
This year
To save us from fears
I’m chucking him into a black hole 🎶“I have an arrest warrant for the gray fox, do you know where he is?”
“Halt! You have violated the law!”
Removes the Gray Mask
“Whoa! He was just here! You there, citizen, which way did that scoundrel run off?!”
